AU Tax - Agent nomination from Xero
Recent new requirements from the ATO mean that businesses have to nominate new BAS and tax agents via ATO Online Services for Business, before the Agent can add them on their end (on ATO Client Services for Agents). This requires the tax payer to have set up MyGovID, gone into RAM and log into ATO Online Services for Business. The majority of clients have no idea how to do any of this. It would be good, if there was a way that they could nominate the Agent from Xero instead. Perhaps the linking of the Xero file to the ATO can be used to do this...

I would also extend this idea to individuals who wish to appoint a new tax agent. At present, there is no functionality within Xero Tax to be appointed as tax agent. I would also like to see a client update form available for the client to sign and once filed, the tax agent can be appointed.
